There is a dizzying array of styles and designers offering up the loveliest lace ups, reversecommuter is having trouble making a decision (quelle surprise!). Valentino’s delicate laced up version is so gorgeous that for this shoe I would wrangle a lion or two.

Chloe’s gladiator offerings come in a flat or heeled version, both in a beyond-buttery suede just begging to be caressed…or worn.

Any shoe trend that allows my feet to be comfortable, run around after the banditos AND deliver a look that makes my husband raise an approving eyebrow is ALL GOOD, even with the extra 5 minutes it will involve to lace these beauties up!

Boho is everywhere in fashion – it is like a VW beetle that just won’t rust quietly away at the junkyard.

Tassles, suede, embroidery, add a little bit of frayed denim and a groovy easy vibe. Pick the designer and one spectacularly deceiving WOW piece to update your wardrobe. Boots, Tunic, Suede jacket, distressed denim and a trippy scarf to wrap around your head – the list goes on and on, just like the beat!

The budget can be yours to set. Invest and update now and enjoy it into Fall 2015. NYFW is delivering a Bevy of Boho across the runways as we speak (or blog, or read the blog, etc…).

Blogging with an ocean view is not as easy as it sounds – the temptation to play is way to great! That is my excuse for a late submission today, can you really blame me?

New York Fashion Week is officially underway. Devastated as reversecommuter is to have missed Jonathan Simkhai‘s crazy good show yesterday, at least I can drown my sorrows with a phenomenal margarita beachside.

The signature ‘meshiness’ of his clothes makes me want to invest and layer up in Jonathan Simkhai pieces from head to toe, now and with the new Fall 2015 collection.

Ready for a clever segway?

Moda Operandi, the online boutique of immediate fashion gratification, has just received $60 MILLION Series E financing, with the most generous funding coming from Boston’s own Fidelity Investments. Great news for any fashion fan who NEEDS/WANTS the latest luxury fashion directly from the runway.

Speaking of clever, chalk up another brilliant business move by Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. Amazon just signed on as a major sponsor of Fashion Week, (starting with the upcoming Men’s Fashion Week), but reversecommuter predicts with the opening left by the departing Mercedez Benz, perhaps Amazon’s deep pockets could help NYFW like not many other sponsors could…

Boston has survived Juno and is now a veritable winter wonderland. So now the obvious problem is how to look good while keeping the ears warm! (once that is solved the bags under my eyes will be tackled…) Chapkas, otherwise known as Trapper Hats seem to be all over the place. Eternally gorgeous Elle Macpherson chose the Chapka in Aspen. The price range is anywhere from under $100 all the way up to north of $1000, depending on what it is made of.

Pologeorgis Coyote Fur Hat @ Bergdorf’s

Fur or faux, fox, rabbit or synthetic, this is the style to beat the brrrrrrs!

Like wearing great lingerie, skin care is an essential part of a great outfit. Investing time and money in a skin care regime is like swapping out that nasty grey/brown bra for a sexy lacy number. You know you know that bra I am talking about.

Dr. Fredric Brandt has been the go-to-dude of skincare for over 30 years. He has devout celebrity clients (hello Gwyneth), and a whole lot of regular clientele too, who look gorgeous thanks to his products. He has offices in New York and Miami, but if you cannot get to him in person, you can still utilize his expertise with his skin care line.
